    I made a lot of pies lately. Really a lot! Why? Well… I will tell you some other time ;)
    This delicious Banana Chocolate Pudding Pie should get all attention today. Shouldn’t be that hard, right?! Who can resist this pie-dream-come-true ;P

    I really love pies. They are delicious (most of the time) and also easy to prepare. The crust is basically made in no time – 10 minutes at the most. You can prepare the dough for two pies at a time with no extra work. You can do that several days in advance or freeze the dough. Try this with the batter of a cupcake or cake… not working ;P

    This pie basically only exists, cause I made some dough for blueberry pie and had enough for another one. Recycling more or less. Same for the filling… Since I did not really plan this one, I looked into my cabinets and fridge and found several things I could use… shortbread cookies, bananas, chocolate, heavy cream. All ended up in this pie as a little experiment. Which fortunately was a success ;)

    There is not much more to say about this pie except: d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s ;))

    Oh well – maybe one more thing: when making this pie, try not to mix the pudding layer with the chocolate layer. The chocolate filling is quite liquid, so this can happen easily. It’s not a big deal – the pie is still a hit, but if you can see the layers when cutting it, it’s even better ;)

    Oh and what I said about pies are easy to make? This is the exception ;) The dough is still made in no time, but the two fillings are a bit work to do. Not complicated but time consuming. So be prepared ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Add the flour, sugar, salt and the cold butter in small pieces to a large bowl. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into pea-size pieces. Add about half of the ice water to the bowl and mix everything with your fingers. Add more water if needed until the dough comes together – it is fine if there are still some dry spots – the dough should not be too wet. Form a ball, flatten and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for at least 60 minutes.

    2. While the dough is cooling, prepare the pudding. Take about 2-3 tablespoons of the milk and mix with the egg yolks, sugar and constarch until smooth. Slit the vanilla bean pod lengthwise and remove the seeds – add seeds, vanilla bean pod and the remaining milk to a saucepan and bring slowly to a boil. Remove the vanilla bean pod, then add the egg yolk mixture and mix in. Let thicken and bubble for a moment, then remove from the heat and let cool down a bit. Cover with plastic wrap, directly on top of the pudding to prevent the pudding to get a skin. Let cool down.

    3. For the chocolate filling chop the chocolate and set aside. Add the milk, heavy cream and sugar to a saucepan and slowly bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate – stir until smooth. Let cool down a bit, then add the egg and vanilla extract and mix in well. Set aside.

    4. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Slightly grease a 9 inch (23cm) pie dish. Roll out the dough on a floured surface slightly larger than the pie dish. Transfer the dough and press to the bottom and sides, form a nice edge. Line with baking parchment and fill in baking beans and blindbake for 15 minutes. Remove the beans and bake for another 5-8 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down slightly. Crush the graham crackers and sprinkle on the bottom of the pre-baked crust. Cut the bananas (about 1 1/2 – keep some for the decoration) into slices and place on top of the crushed graham crackers. Pour the pudding into the crust and even out the top. Carefully add the chocolate filling on top – try not to mix it with the pudding filling. Place in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes – the pie is done when the chocolate filling is mostly set but still moving a bit in the center. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    5. Add the heavy cream and confectioner’s sugar to a tall bowl and mix on high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag and pipe small swirls on top of the cake – decorate with banana slices and serve.

    1. Das Mehl mit dem Zucker und Salz in einer großen Schüssel vermischen und dann die kalte Butter in kleinen Stücken zugeben. Die Butter mit einem Teigmischer in erbsengroße Stücke zerteilen. Etwa die Hälfte des Wassers zugeben und alles mit den Fingern vermischen. Mehr Wasser zugeben und einarbeiten, bis der Teig anfängt zusammenzuhalten. Nicht zu viel Wasser zugeben, der Teig sollte nicht feucht sein. Zu einer Kugel formen, plattdrücken und in Klarsichtfolie einschlagen – für mindestens 60 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen.

    2. Während der Teig kühlt, den Pudding zubereiten. Von der Milch etwa 2-3 Esslöffel abnehmen und mit den Eigelben, dem Zucker und der Stärke glattrühren. Die Vanilleschote längs aufschneiden und das Mark herauskratzen – beides mit der restlichen Milch in einen Topf geben und langsam zum Kochen bringen. Die Vanilleschote herausnehmen und die Eigelbmischung unterrühren. Den Pudding eindicken und etwas blubbern lassen, dann vom Herd nehmen und kurz abkühlen lassen. Ein Klarsichtfolie direkt auf den Pudding legen, damit sich keine Haut bildet und dann zum Abkühlen zur Seite stellen.

    3. Für die Schokoladenfüllung die Schokolade hacken und zur Seite stellen. Die Milch mit Sahne und Zucker in einem Topf verrühren und langsam zum Kochen bringen. Vom Herd nehmen und die gehackte Schokolade zugeben und unterrühren, bis die Masse glatt ist. Etwas abkühlen lassen und dann das Ei und den Vanille Extrakt zugeben und unterrühren. Zur Seite stellen.

    4. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine 23cm (9inch) Pie-Form leicht einfetten. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche etwas größer als die Form ausrollen und dann in die Form legen und andrücken – den Rand einfach abschneiden oder verzieren. Den Boden mit Backpapier belegen und Backbohnen einfüllen. Den Boden für 15 Minuten blindbacken, dann die Backbohnen und das Papier entfernen und für weitere 5-8 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und etwas abkühlen lassen. Die Butterkekse zerbröseln und auf dem vorgebackenen Boden verteilen. Die Bananen (etwa 1 1/2 – den Rest für die Deko zurückhalten) in Scheiben schneiden und den Boden damit komplett belegen. Die Puddingmasse auf der Bananenschicht verteilen und glattstreichen. Die Schokoladenmasse vorsichtig daraufgiessen – versucht die Schichten nicht miteinander zu vermischen. Den Pie in den Ofen schieben und für etwa 30 Minuten backen – sobald sich die Schokoladenschicht anfängt zu setzen und in der Mitte nur noch minimal wackelt, wenn man an der Form rüttelt, dann ist der Pie fertig. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen.

    5. Die Sahne und den Puderzucker in ein hohes Gefäß geben und auf höchster Stufe zu Schlagsahne steifschlagen. In einen Spritzbeutel füllen und kleine Tupfen auf den Pie aufspritzen, mit Bananen dekorieren und servieren.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
